New tour operators feature Great Lakes USA

Two major tour operators are including itineraries for the Great Lakes USA for the first time in 2012. Both North American Travel Service (NATS) and the Vacations Group have joined Virgin Holidays and Complete North America in covering this exciting and diverse area of the mid-west of America.

NATS have included a 14 night fly-drive Great Lakes tour into a two page feature in the new brochure, including a Michigan Lakes and Mackinac Island tour. The tours are being purchased through Tourmappers and Tauck Tours.

The new Vacations Group brochure has an entire section devoted to 'Great Lakes and Northeast', with one page covering a Great Lakes fly-drive tour, one for an escorted tour and a six page tailor made section on the area.

These tours are also being purchased through Tourmappers.

Executive Director of the Great Lakes USA, Toby McCarrick, commented: "We are delighted to have major tour operators selling the Great Lakes now. TourMappers produced a number of exciting itineraries for Great Lakes and these are being developed which will enhance the existing product."

Golfers, anglers, hikers, bikers and sailors are catered for in each state.
